1. Trump's lawyer is parading every single stereotypical rape defense.

Up to and including "what were you wearing?" Also, "what did you think would happen when you went in the dressing room with him," "why were you flirting with him," "why didn't you scream," "why did you act the way you did afterward," "why can't you remember the details of this traumatic event," etc, etc.

I hope that Carroll's attorneys bring in an expert who can explain the impact of trauma on memory and behavior. The jury themselves should be able to see through the rest.
